Look up any term in AI.
Definitions that explain the actual mechanism — not a paraphrase of the name. Written for people who have to build with this, or decide about it.
Glossary
256 terms, each with a worked definition, how it actually works, and where it breaks.
Browse A–ZModels
What each model is good at, what it costs per token, and when the size matters.

Longer pieces on the things a definition cannot hold: benchmarks, costs, and claims worth checking.

The terms the rest keep referring back to. Read these and most AI writing stops being opaque.
Reasoning Model
A model trained to think at length before answering. How it differs from a chat model, what the effort dial does, and the tasks where it earns its price.
Information Retrieval (IR)
Information retrieval ranks documents against a query. How inverted indexes, TF-IDF and BM25 score, and how precision, recall, MAP and nDCG measure it.
Temperature
Temperature is the number that controls how random a language model's output is — it divides the logits before softmax, from near-deterministic to diverse.
AI Data Center
Why AI facilities are measured in megawatts rather than servers — power density, liquid cooling, and the grid connection that has become the real constraint.
Ambient Clinical Documentation
AI scribes draft the clinical note from consultation audio. What the largest deployment and the randomised trials measured — and who stays liable.
Model Deployment
What has to happen between a model that trains well and users calling it: replica sizing, latency budgets, cold starts, and the rollback nobody built.
